Virgin America Goes International: California's Airline Toasts New Toronto Flights
About Virgin America: Headquartered in California and launched in 2007, Virgin America is one of the fastest growing start-up airlines of all time. Virgin America offers guests attractive fares and a host of innovative features aimed at reinventing air travel, including in-flight internet service on every flight and the most advanced touch-screen entertainment platform in the skies. As a brand new carrier and the only airline based in California, Virgin America has made environmentally sustainable practices part of its training and operations from day one, including employing practices such as single engine taxiing, maximizing use of efficient ground power, utilizing advanced avionics to fly more efficiently, and cost index flying - the practice of regulating cruising speeds to reduce fuel burn. The airline has worked with Carbonfund.org to select offset projects that focus on U.S. based carbon emissions reductions and that are independently validated and verified. The airline has initiated recycling pilot initiatives and currently recycles in-flight waste from 47 percent of its flights. Virgin Group reinvests all profits from Virgin-transport related businesses to renewable fuels research and other initiatives that combat climate change.
